With the temperature creeping up, there's a strong theme to this months 'things to buy', products to beat the heat!
Let's start with an obvious one, sunscreen. I've tried a ton of different SPFs (in fact, keep your eyes peeled for a full guide to SPF next week), but I always come back to the P20 Once a Day Sun Protection. It's super easy to apply, it sinks in quick and doesn't leave a horrible sticky residue on your skin, and once you apply, that's it, you don't need to worry about it for the rest of the day. Perfect for people as tall as me, applying sunscreen takes forever!
Skincare can be so tricky when the weather is warm, you want hydration, but full avoidance of oil.
I've switched out my rich evening moisturiser for a lightweight serum instead. I've been using the Ole Henrikson Truth Serum as the final step in my skincare routine, to pack a ton of goodness into my skin. This serum contains all sorts of good things like Vitamin C, E, Green Tea, Grapefruit and Rosehip to name but a few! A nice skin treat.
When it comes to makeup, it's not easy to find products that won't melt off your face. A good setting powder is half the battle though, and I've fallen back in love with the Soap and Glory One Heck of A Blot. It just sets everything in place perfectly without adding any cakey, powdery finish to the skin, or taking away that summery glow. Good stuff!
Blush is usually the first thing to disappear from my skin, whether it's hot and humid or not. But the Milani Baked Blushes are just fantastic. I particularly love the cult shade Luminoso, which gives a gorgeous peachy glow, as well as a subtle highlight. Beautiful.
And a non beauty mention, I'd really recommend picking up a giant cold cup tumbler. I picked mine up in Starbucks in New York, and it's so handy. Fill it up with cold water and carry it everywhere, to make sure you're staying hydrated in this heat!
What are you going to be splurging on this month?
